Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!
Someone “blew it up” and the resulting explosion launched it into space.
I’ve only watched the musical from the Simpsons.
🎶 I was wrong. It was Earth all along. 🎶
Yes, you finally made a monkey out of meeeee!!!
Doctor Zaius, Doctor Zaius…
Can i play the piano anymore?
Of course you can!
I couldn’t before!
I’ve only seen this picture. Still went “shit, yeah…”.
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee.
Dint family guy also did a musical
It was based on a movie…?
Marky Mark and the Monkey Bunch.
I always thought that was silly. How did it stay so intact?
thats dumb as fuck lol
It was a terrorist cell “Maniacs” who blew it up.
It was a different statue that looked the same. Just a coincidence. It’s not that deep.
Buy why is it human? I’m just happy they fixed this oversight in the (vastly superior) 2001 remake with the Lincoln Memorial.
Just a coincidence, it was actually shaped by erosion
It’s not human, that’s just pareidolia.
I want to think this whole thread is just whimsical, but I have to know for sure - y’all get that it’s future Earth, right?

Still not sure if you’re serious, but check out the rest of the movies or read this.
In the original novel it’s an alien planet where apes dominate humans, but in the movies humans in the near future on Earth use intelligent apes as slaves until the apes revolt and take over. Eventually a nuclear apocalypse destroys that civilization, which is followed by the less advanced one seen in the first movie. Rod Serling came up with the ending that made it future Earth.
And in the last movie they set off a doomsday weapon that destroys the whole solar system
Wow, that’s some serious doomsday shit. Tbh I burned out on the franchise and haven’t seen that one.
I think they are talking about the original set of movies. Ya thought it was only the new ones that got milked? Fuck no the original one got milked hard.
Yes it was the original set. I think there were 3-4?
Ah, Gene Roddenberry must’ve written the movie then.
It turns out, that on their planet, the apes have made an exact replica of the statue of liberty
It’s actually still earth and the protagonist time travelled.
They travelled to the past when only the upper half of the statue was built.
Actually it was the French aliens that transported them on their spaceship
“Hnng hnngyeeess, the Eeevil Council are French! Nyah hah! Nnggyah! Power me up, babyy! Nggyah hah!”

gouald ha’tak vessels.
Fr*nch sent them one, duh
🤮
jk i love the fren*h
William of Normandy was my granpappy
You and everyone else’s
no… no… only me. not even any of the ancestors in between
No! They did it! They blew it up!
And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?
And then the birds took over and ruined their society.
And then the cows. And then…I don’t know, is that a slug, maybe?
Noooo!
Weird how the copper of the slug statue looks older than the other ones. I hope someone got fired for that blunder
It’s, like, even more futuristic copper so it colors differently.
Or maybe version their statue was built with the help of their version of Ea-Nasir.
No matter how many times he’s reincarnated, he always has shitty copper and treats his customers with contempt!
If you reach the bird people you’re too far ahead.
No, this is a misunderstanding. This is just an unusual rock formation. It has nothing to do with the actual statue, that still stands on Earth.
Oh, kinda like Mt Rushmore. Nature truly is remarkable.

Everyone forgets that the planet of apes is actually las vegas, if the camera where to go a little more to the left we would see a eiffel tower as well
These themed hotels are getting out of hand
Trump had a bunch in Atlantic City themed as casinos!
Yeah, I think it’s one of those artsy things they sometimes do to just confuse the viewer. In the book the eiffel tower is mentioned which makes everything more obvious.
I thought planet of apes was in hollywood?
More confusing is how it ended up next to cliffs on a shore line when it lives in a marshland enviroment
She may have just walked there, as seen in the documentary Ghostbusters 2.
Clearly, the statue was carried by ocean currents south from New York, through the Panama canal, then back north where it washed ashore at the tip of the Baja peninsula in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

So… in the novel… it IS actually a different planet and obviously the Statue of Liberty is not there.
You likely already know this but the statue in the movie is a convenient symbol for change over time which is relevant to the book. No spoilers.
Anyway… read the novel! It’s great.
I haven’t read the book, but that makes this even funnier to me. Lol
Will add that to my list.
That’s the ocean after global warming. They’re really in Las Vegas.
2001’ sea level rise, climate change is worse than I thought.
They sold it, to pay for the debts after the stock market crash of 2025.
I mean copper is an expensive metal these days. Probably make mint selling Lady Liberty for scrap.
Unfortunately she’s hollow, like a shitty chocolate easter bunny.
Wait, that’s not Mega Maid?
Suck! Suck! Suck!
She’s gone from suck to blow
That’s an even better line. Very nice
Oh shit, there goes the planet.
Sold to aliens for scrap by a bankrupt country (for 10 hamburgers, which is approximately 10 hamburgers in todays hamburgers).
Are we talking real beef?
